This book isn't just food for thought, it's an entire buffet.
I'd fully recommend that every male reads this book, then goes back and reads it again. It's made me realise a lot about myself and where some of my past mistakes have come from. The book is written from a place of experience rather than pure academic facts, but the stats that the book contains really make you think.
I'll definitely be returning to this book regularly and seeking out similar books.
P.s. My reason for giving it 4 stars was because it was too short for my liking. I would've happily read a 300/400-page version.

I thought this was a pleasant read, but not something I’d pick up again. I don’t think any of the ideas were groundbreaking or taught me anything I didn’t already know about gender or toxic masculinity - and unfortunately the audience who may benefit from this book are unlikely to pick it up.

Is the science credible? There probably isn't any. Are you reading an artist's account of the gender debate for scientific rhetoric? No. Is it well meaning and engagingly earnest? Yep.
Some seriously good points here. Well worth the read. A great starting point (even if you have to throw away the odd brick) and his empathy, for all sides of the debate, makes it an easy recommend.

I picked this up quite excitedly but I am now not confident I was its intended reader. It didn't teach me anything I didn't already know but the composition of important topics, statistics and Perry's personal experience made for a well rounded read.
